When he ventured back to the site in April, he promptly received four Editors' Pick mentions in a row (feast your eyes on Sea Scallops with Puy Lentils and Fennel Cream and Smokey Caesar Salad with Rosemary to see how) -- clearly food52 is a brighter place with Oui, Chef around. He also recently took two years off work to study cooking in France and now blogs from his home in Massachusetts about teaching his five children the joys in cooking and eating. We're now trying to figure out how we can become honorary members of his brood. See Oui, Chef's profile page and fan him here.

Read his profile Q&A below:

What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?Cock's Combs

What do you cook when home alone?A stinky cheese, mushroom and herb omelette

Your most treasured kitchen possession:My wooden salt pig that I bought in Paris.

Major congratulations for a very well deserved spotlight! My husband and I've been traveling in Europe the last 3 weeks and just now catching up on all the F52 news and saw this. You're definitely one of the F52 MVPs - I always enjoy the recipes you post!

WOW....y'all are making me blush a little. Thank you all for your lovely comments, and to Amanda, Merrill, and the rest of the gang at Food52 HQ for the award of the cook spotlight. I'm honored and excited to be part of such a vibrant community, and look forward each week to the food and the passion that we all share here. Sorry to have missed some of the fun, but so happy to be back with you all! Cheers - S
